The five gigantic figures were the five flying-type fierce beasts that Xiao Dun had described earlier.
The five flying-type fierce beasts were all different. Some looked terrifying while some looked rather pleasant. There was even an almost bald bird that did not have many feathers on its body.
The only similarity they shared was they were all birds!
Along with a few ear-piercing cries, the five flying-type wild beasts charged at Duan Ling Tian immediately at a speed so fast that it resembled five bolts of lightning.
"Just some stray birds! How dare you act all mighty in front of me!" Faced with the five menacing flying-type fierce beasts, Duan Ling Tian snorted coldly in disdain.
In the next instant, without too many actions, the Sun True Origin surged out of his body and transformed into streaks of sword rays that rapidly whirled around his body before it transformed again into a gigantic bell. It was none other than the Colossal Sword Bell that Duan Ling Tian created based on the Colossal Arrow Bell.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
One must admit that the attacks from the five flying-type fierce beasts that were at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage were incredibly powerful. Every time they attacked, it would make the air tremble. When the attacks landed on the Colossal Sword Bell, it caused the latter to shake as well.
Although it shook, it showed no signs of crumbling at all.
"How powerful!" In the distant, Xiao Dun was dumbfounded. Although he knew this Senior Brother Ling Tian was very powerful, he was still shocked when he witnessed Duan Ling Tian's strength with his own eyes.
To think that he and his friend were chased by these five stray birds previously!
However, when it was Senior Brother Ling Tian's turn, the situation had completely turned around. Senior Brother Ling Tian merely cast a defensive technique and that five stray birds could not even break his defense at all no matter how much they tried with all their might.
"How weak… This is so boring." Seeing how the five flying-type fierce beasts could not break his Colossal Sword Bell no matter how much they tried, Duan Ling Tian felt disappointed. With just a thought, the Colossal Sword Bell disappeared while hundreds of sword rays that formed the Colossal Sword Bell shot toward the five flying-type fierce beasts instantly.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
In just an instant, it seemed as though it was raining swords. However, instead of falling vertically like rains, the swords were moving horizontally.
The swords covered the sky and set off a series of ear-piercing sounds. It seemed as though the sky was about to tear in their wake.
The five flying-type fierce beasts vanished after being baptized by the 'rain of swords.'
"They're like the three fierce beasts at the entrance of the tower." Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian's heart leaped slightly as he recalled the Six Harmonies Tower that housed the Divine Ability Relic that contained the Six Harmonies Golden Body.
Although there were only three fierce beasts guarding the entrance of the Six Harmonies Tower, their joined attacks were in no way inferior to the five flying-type fierce beasts since the former were able to coordinate their attacks.
Rumble!
When the five flying-type fierce beasts were killed, the great entrance to the palace finally opened.
'As expected, it's indeed the same as the Six Harmonies Tower,' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
Since the entrance had already opened, naturally, he would enter it. Duan Ling Tian did not stop and immediately entered the palace.
Xiao Dun followed closely as he watched Duan Ling Tian's silhouette with enthusiasm in his eyes.
After they entered the palace, Duan Ling Tian realized the trials were similar to the trials in the Six Harmonies Tower.
Naturally, what he meant by similar was the difficulties increased level by level. Similarly, each of the opponents he faced was stronger than the previous ones.
As they were moving through the palace, Xiao Dun's gaze became even more heated as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
There was no need for him to do anything at all. To be more exact, he had no chance to do anything at all. Senior Brother Ling Tian was just to fast when he dealt with the trials they encountered.
Naturally, Xiao Dun would not even be able to pass if he made a move during the later trials.
Duan Ling Tian who was walking in the hallway of the palace suddenly came to a halt as he said to Xiao Dun as he looked ahead, "There's only one hall left in front. If I'm not mistaken, the Divine Ability Relic should be inside!"
Upon hearing that, Xiao Dun raised his head and looked at the palace's last big hall that they had yet to enter. There was a plaque above the entrance of the big hall that was carved elegantly with three words. Rock Heaven Hall.
The three words subtly emitted a sense of pressure as though there was some special force contained inside.
"Divine Ability Relic!" Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words, Xiao Dun became slightly excited since he would be able to obtain a Divine Ability Relic soon. Although it was uncertain if he would be able to master it in the future, having a shot at it was better than none at all.
Moreover, based on the trials they encountered along the way, he was certain this Divine Ability Relic would not be a low-grade one!
Although he had entered the Mystical Sky Mansion quite late, he had also heard that the more difficult the trials were, the Divine Ability Relics were most likely of a higher grade.
Due to this reason, Xiao Dun was excited. He looked forward to seeing what kind of Divine Ability was contained in the Divine Ability Relic inside the Rock Heaven Hall.
Before they entered, Duan Ling Tian reminded Xiao Dun, "After we enter, don't leave my side. If I'm not mistaken, there should one last trial in there."
With his experience from the Six Harmonies Tower, he believed there would still be a trial awaiting him in the Rock Heaven Hall.
It was because a presence that was similar to the gigantic statue in the Six Harmonies Tower had yet to appear in this palace.
"Alright, Senior Brother Ling Tian." Throughout their journey, Xiao Dun had already regarded Duan Ling Tian as a deity. It was only natural for him to trust Duan Ling Tian's words unconditionally.
"Let's go in." After Duan Ling Tian heard Xiao Dun's reply, he did not waste any more time and strode into the Rock Heaven Hall.
Although the name Rock Heaven Hall sounded quite nice, when Duan Ling Tian entered the hall, he discovered the hall was unlike the other halls in the palace. There was nothing in the Rock Heaven Hall other than countless irregular rocks.
In fact, the big halls he had gone through before this were all magnificent.
However, this Rock Heaven Hall looked extremely rundown and ugly.
Duan Ling Tian was not the only one who was dumbfounded. Even Xiao Dun was dumbstruck as he muttered, "Senior Brother Ling Tian, are we really still in the palace? Why do I feel like we've entered the wrong room?"
Entered the wrong room!
Indeed, Duan Ling Tian felt the same way.
However, the baffled expression on his face disappeared and was replaced by a solemn expression.
Duan Ling Tian's gaze soon landed on the countless of irregular rocks. He was shocked. "These rocks are originally inanimate. However, currently, it feels like they're filling up with vitality. What are they?"
Duan Ling Tian obtained this information from his Divine Consciousness.
"Senior Brother Ling Tian, these rocks seem a little weird…" At the same time, Xiao Dun also noticed the rocks on the floor was strange.
Bang!
As soon as Xiao Dun's words left his mouth, a loud bang resonated from behind Duan Ling Tian. He instinctively turned around and discovered the only exit of Rock Heaven Hall was blocked by a rock door, effectively trapping him and Xiao Dun inside.
Unlike Duan Ling Tian who remained calm, horror dawned on Xiao Dun.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
At this moment, the air in the Rock Heaven Hall, that was closed tightly, began to stir as gusts of wind began to blow. Initially, the wind was quite mild. However, in the end, it turned as fierce as a hurricane as it blew at Duan Ling Tian and Xiao Dun, causing their robes to flutter loudly.
"Senior Brother Ling Tian… T-the rocks seem to be moving!" Xiao Dun suddenly cried out with a trembling voice.
Duan Ling Tian nodded. He had noticed it as well.
As the hurricane continued to wreak havoc in the Rock Heaven Hall, the rocks on the floor began to tremble as well. Initially, only those small rocks shook, but in the end, even those rocks that could be considered as gigantic began to shake violently as well.
Soon after, both of them discovered some of the smaller rocks had already flown up into the air and were continuously gaining height.
Gradually, the remaining rocks began to rise up into the air as well.
Under the watchful eyes of Duan Ling Tian and Xiao Dun, when all of the rocks rose up into the air, they actually merged into a rock golem that was as big as a small mountain.
The rock golem did not have eyes or mouth. However, its vitality resembled that of a fierce beast. It was not just for decoration.
Boom!
Without warning, the rock golem moved. As it lifted a leg and dropped it on the ground, it caused dust to fly in the air. The entire Rock Heaven Hall quaked as though an earthquake had just taken place.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
The rock golem took a few strides forward again and caused the Rock Heaven Hall to shake violently. Even Duan Ling Tian and Xiao Dun began to sway from the effect.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a few steps, both of them realized the rock golem's speed had increased. Initially, it was just walking, then it began to gain speed and was currently charging at them with ever increasing speed.
At the same time, the aura the rock golem emitted began to intensify as well. Its aura crashed at them like waves, almost suffocating Xiao Dun.
As for Duan Ling Tian, he was not affected at all.
Xiao Dun whose face was flushed from anxiety rose up into the air and hastily reminded Duan Ling Tian, "Be careful, Senior Brother Ling Tian!"
However, Duan Ling Tian did not seem to hear him at all. To be exact, he was ignoring him. He charged toward the rock golem whose speed was still increasing.
His palm had somehow shot out Sun True Origin that transformed into a dazzling golden three-foot-long blade.
After the rock golem's aura became stable, Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, 'The aura on the rock golem has finally stabilized… Mastery Refined Saint Stage! It's the same as the gigantic puppet on the final level of the Six Harmonies Tower!'
"I'd like to see whether you can withstand a casual strike of my sword like that gigantic puppet or not!" His heart leaped as he abruptly pounced forward like a bolt of lightning. The tip of the three-foot-long blade was pointed at the rock golem.
